Printable Scenery has yet another kickstarter going, this time for 3d Printed modular ruins. It looks pretty nice and I will jump on this for at least the Stone Ruins pack. The WWII and Gothic ruins look great too though so I might get them also. These will be nice for Frostgrave stuff for sure.

I think I'm in too. Between 40k and Frostgrave, I think I can get a lot of use out of these.

The rate this one is going I have no doubt it will unlock all of the stretch goals. Wont surprise me if he ends up adding more to it.

Still learning how this works...
...that picture clearly shows that the product is already done. Ready for the customer.
...if the delivery overhead for them is $0 (the product is a digital file), what is it that they are Kick-starting?

You are right, Wyloch. They are not kick starting anything really. They have fully developed the 3-D prints and are just using kickstarter to do sales. The only way they can say that they are kickstarting is the development of the bonus items. I believe this is the reason they do the bonus items. They can and do say we won't make these items until we get this amount of money. At that point, based on my own limited ability to do stl files, I can't imagine the files take more than 24 hours to develop, so they are selling the 24 hours of work to create for the bonus items. I am okay with someone making $1000 an hour for their work, it is just the work around to selling based on a kickstarter. People often do kickstarters with the purpose of getting seed money to market. Since it takes very little to send in an email or download site a stl file, this is a borderline kickstarter. You could say they are getting the money to market, but they are actually using the kickstarter as their market.

Yeah, I don't like the whole kickstarter model for this type of thing. I purchased their last two and will this one also, only because I think you get a lot of value for it. I think they do it simply because if they offered all of the models for $45 they would never reach the amount of sales that they do with the kickstarter. They dangle the carrot over your head to get people to keep spending. I agree it's a borderline shady way of doing business but I guess it works for him pretty well.

I decided to back this today. There is about 41 hours left on it. All but the last stretch goal is unlocked and they added some bonus items. It was the Frigate and Mega Cavern tile bonus items that really pushed me over the edge on this one. For $47 USD I was able to get the Stone Ruins, the Sci-Fi ruins, all the bonus and stretch goals.
Between Winterdale 1, Winterdale 2, Apocalyptic Ruins, Cavern Tiles, and Wyloch Tiles, there isn't really anything I can't build. I have been talking with a couple people about my return to DMing this Winter so I think today I need to fire up the 3D printer and get pumping out my set of Wyloch tiles. Going to have a lot of printing to do this year with all this variety.
